"Prime Garage Doors and Openers repaired my garage door and saved me hundreds after a different company said it could not be repaired and gave me an estimate for a new replacement opener that would have cost 4 times as much. The service technician was very professional, honest and very efficient; he did a great job. I will use them again if necessary."

"Outstanding service. Had a spring break on my garage. Wallen garage got back to me right away and even made it out the same day. Pricing was reasonable for todays climate and the job was done within an hour and half of arrival. I will be recommending their service to anyone I know who needs garage door repairs. If I could give more than 5 stars I would."

"We were having a lot of problems with out garage door and it it was eventually on its way to a complete failure. Wes from Wallen Garage Doors came out and quickly diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, and made the repairs. Wes was super professional and obviously had a great deal of experience. The work is much appreciated and I would greatly recommend Wallen Garage Doors to anyone in the same boat that I was in."

"Very responsive to my initial request & scheduled a service call for the next morning to install 2 new garage door openers. He recommended a specific brand garage door opener to buy. I found a highly rated one at Home Depot that I bought & they were ready to install when he showed up. Also replaced door springs, which is not cheap, but he gave me a discount. Very happy overall."

"Very thorough repair and lubrication of the tracks for 4 garage door openers. Made sure all were operating properly. Would highly recommend!"
Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
